About this listen

Disinterest and overstimulation. These perfectly natural phenomena can be useful for directing and diverting attention, but when taken to their extremes can lead to anxiety and depression.

Modern neuroscience, medicinal chemistry, and psychology have revealed the role dopamine plays in these behaviors, and how to change them. Through an understanding of how our brains respond to stimulation through changes in dopamine, we can alter our behaviors to not only feel better while doing things, but to feel better about the things we are doing. Nothing about Dopamine is innately “toxic”, in fact, dopamine is essential to most of our daily actions. It’s the behaviors that cause excessive and sustained dopamine release that can become “toxic” toward our own goal-directed action, making daily tasks seem dull and uninteresting.

By better understanding our dopamine regulation and response system, we can meaningfully improve our mood. This audiobook provides practical knowledge about how our dopamine system works and provides stepwise outlines to implement that understanding and address anxiety and depression. More specifically, you’ll learn:

  • Signs of dopamine-related disfunction
  • Causes of excess dopamine
  • How to reduce dopamine resistance
  • What causes excess fear, anxiety, and depression
  • Methods to reduce anxiety and fear
  • Psychiatric tools and techniques to combat anxiety and depression

After thoroughly listening to this audiobook, you will be armed with the knowledge you need to better understand yourself and take advantage of the brain’s innate reward systems so that taking goal-directed action feels natural.
